C Dm7
The storm cloud hangs on the hill
G C
The thunder rolls through the plain
C Dm7
And there goes that little bird still
G7 C
She's winging her way through the rain
C Dm7
The buzzard stirs in his gloom
G C
The jackal stalks through the shade
F C
But clearing the dim edge of doom
G7 C
The dove makes her way on the brave
[Pre Chorus]
Dm7
There goes the dove
G7 C
On through the day
Dm7
There goes that little bird
G7 C
Winging her way
[Chorus]
F
Over the dove
C
Way up on high
Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7 C
Spanning the sky
F
Over the dove
C
Way up on high
Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7 C
Spanning the sky
[Verse 2]
C Dm7
The rocket lights up the way
G C
And sears her wings with its flame
C Dm7
And night burns bright as the day
G7 C
The dove soars along just the same
C Dm7
The guns sound off with a blast
G C
And snarl at the dove on its course
F C
But there she goes faithfully past
G7 C
And braves the full burst of the force
[Pre Chorus]
Dm7
There she goes
G7 C
On through the day
Dm7
There goes that little bird
G7 C
Winging her way
[Chorus]
F
Over the dove
C
Way up on high
Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7 C
Spanning the sky
F
Over the dove
C
Way up on high
Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7 C
Spanning the sky
[Verse 3]
C Dm7
The people stir on the land
G C
They lift up their face to the sky
C Dm7
To see if the dove is at hand
G7 C
And watch her go breathlessly by
C Dm7
The father stands with his son
G C
The sister and brother are there
F C
They lift up their heads every one
G7 C
The sound of their voice fills the air
[Pre Chorus]
Dm7
There she goes
G7 C
On through the day
Dm7
There goes that little bird
G7 C
Winging her way
[Chorus]
F
Over the dove
C
Way up on high
Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7 C
Spanning the sky
F
Over the dove
C
Way up on high
Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7 C
Spanning the sky
[Verse 4]
C Dm7
The mother rich with her child
G C
The lover lost in her love
C Dm7
To welcome the feathery mild
G7 C
The sure the invincible dove
C Dm7
And dreams of such things to be
G C
The wind at peace with the waves
F C
And the land at peace with the sea
G7 C
And the brave at peace with the brave
[Pre Chorus]
Dm7
There she goes
G7 C
On through the day
Dm7
There goes that little bird
G7 C
Winging her way
[Chorus]
F
Over the dove
C
Way up on high
Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7 C
Spanning the sky
F
Over the dove
C
Way up on high
Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7 C
Spanning the sky
